18:56, 8 September 2021 diff hist +275‎ N File:Zfc first.jpg ‎ The first picture I ever took with Nikon Z FC and the Nikon Z 16-50, check the Exif below. When you see the camera, you might be excused to think this is a ''toy'' but underneath, the camera is actually more like a Nikon D500 than anything else. current
18:54, 8 September 2021 diff hist +652‎ N File:Zfc vs 610.jpg ‎ Comparing two setups that are very comparable. The Nikon Z FC with the Nikon Z 16-50 on the left as a mirrorless APS-C system and the Nikon D610 with the formidable Nikon 24-70 on the right. The focal lengths actually match pretty well, but of course the Nikon 24-70 is f/2.8 while the Nikon Z 16-50 is only f/3.5-5.6. For someone that loves the older DSLR cameras, the results are pretty devastating. These two setups are actually more of a match than you thin... current

Of course using a tripod would have solved everything here, but the key to this is also the lightweight Nikon 35 which makes holding the camera steady easier than a heavier zoom.
18:28, 26 July 2021 diff hist +211‎ N File:Nikon35 farm 300.jpg ‎ This 1042 x 695 pixel crop from a Nikon D850 was taken with a Nikon 35 and shows the field of view of a long <kbd>300mm</kbd> lens. The original is under File:nikon35_farm.jpg. current
18:26, 26 July 2021 diff hist +327‎ N File:Nikon35 farm.jpg ‎ The Nikon 35 on a full frame camera, like the Nikon D850 here, is actually decently wide and can be the only lens you carry. If you need a tighter shot, try cropping. See File:Nikon35_farm_300.jpg for a crop of this picture equivalent to the field of view for a <kbd>300mm</kbd> lens. current

This one is for the sharpness fanatics. If the picture you take with this lens is not sharp it is not the fault of the lens (well it usually isn't). current

This is one of those strange things, you may have many lenses that are more expensive and higher quality, but the Nikon 50 (or the Nikon 35) are remarkably good lenses, I am always positively surprised with the quality of the pictures I get from this lens. current

16:55, 19 July 2021 diff hist +421‎ N File:Nikon105 butterfly.jpg ‎ Beautiful colored butterfly captured by a Nikon 105 on an APS-C camera (Nikon D500) which effectively makes this a lens with <kbd>150mm</kbd> focal length. Still I am too far away from the subject to actually make use of the macro capability. This is one of the reasons why you sometimes want a longer macro lens like the Nikon 200, when you can not approach your subjects so easily. current

16:39, 19 July 2021 diff hist +476‎ N File:Nikon18 200 flower.jpg ‎ This is using the very light Nikon 18-200. Older zooms like the Nikon 70-210 usually had a macro mode at the lower end of their range allowing you to come close. Newer universal zooms like the Nikon 18-200 have quite short minimum focus distance allowing you quite high reproduction ratios. A true macro would allow you to fill the entire screen with this flower, but in most cases, this is a framing you want to be going for. current

Here it even gives a bit of automatic cropping to make this picture look like it was taken with a macro lens. current

16:12, 19 July 2021 diff hist +280‎ N File:Nikon85 poppy crop.jpg ‎ A crop from a Nikon 85 shot using an APS-C camera. Normally this lens is not known for coming close to subjects, but with a bit of help from a crop, it even looks like a macro shot. The original can be seen under File:File:nikon85_poppy.jpg.

15:46, 19 July 2021 diff hist +463‎ N File:Nikon200 rose.jpg ‎ This is a handheld shot using the Nikon 200 on a Nikon D850. While the lens is a macro lens, this shot is actually using it as a regular long lens. The result looks OK, but this is a tricky shot, since you are (relatively) close to the flower, you need a smaller aperture so that you have enough depth of field . This in turn requires a longer exposure which is partially compensated with a higher ISO of <kbd>1250</kbd>. current

Although this is a macro lens, this shot does not really use its macro capability, this was shot more like a long lens. current
